[gui-talk] Printer recommendations?

[W. Nick Dotson]

And, after that, a little Emory Cloth goes a long way toward restoring a roller.  I even got a bottle of stuff with what smells like Acitone which the print shoppe 
said worked really wesll...

 Andy,

 Whoops. Didn't anyone read you the instructions or tell you that this is 
 similar to what can happen to the rubber rollers in the tape transport of a 
 cassette deck?  If I'd retired my HP 520 the firwst time I experienced what 
 you describe, it wouldn't have lasted three years!  You're supposed to rub 
 each roller, all the way around, with the kind of alcohol that's used for 
 this purpose-- isopropyl alcohol, I think--, which will clean off the dark 
 gunk from the surface that causes it to become slick (I used to be able to 
 see this on the folded paper towel I used for the purpose) and leave the 
 roller with its old texture again for grabbing the paper.

 Oh, well.

 Actually, what caused the demise of my HP 520 was that the rubber on the
 pinch rollers wore smooth, so they couldn't feed the paper through.  The
 printer would act like there was no paper in the tray.  I had heard from
 others who had the same problem, and was told it was time to retire that
 printer.  As for the printing, if you could get paper to it, it would
 print, but it didn't last anywhere near 12 years.  I think it's neat
 that your 520 served you well for so long.
